Innumerate cowards recoil from the facts: 665,000 dead Iraqis 
Majikthise has a nice round-up of right wing reactions to this study by American and Iraqi epidemiologists that estimates 665,000 excess deaths (non-combat) in Iraq since the U.S. invasion.

While all the Right Wingers seemed shocked at the high number, one gets the feeling that they would have been shocked at any number. War, for the armchair warrior, is apparently mostly fought by noble warriors with few, if any, civilian casualties.

And for the record, when asked, I estimated 250,000.
